Spooling reels with Braid Question?

[On The Edge]

If done properly no tape, mono, or any other gripping wrap is needed to start with. The tape, mono, etc is used to prevent the line from slipping on the spool while under high drag presure. If the braid/spectra is put on the spool correctly right from the first wrap it will not slip. Note the Words DONE PROPERLY.

See Basils site for Myth Busting details of spooling Spectra. http://www.bhptackle.com/pages.php?pageid=36

However, All that being said it will not hurt anything if you do put a few gripping wraps on a spool if it makes you feel better .

If your reels have a starting "tit", sorry don't know what else to call it, that is all you need. If not, you can also but some tape on the spool to give the braid something to bite into.

Thats how

I think I'm gonna quit fishin' if it get's any more confusing. Stop by the boat, we'll sit sit on a fish box for a coupe hours, life will be good! Do you use crickets or worm's? Frank

I've been meaning to stop by and see her. Last time I was down there was before she was even yours, so that's been a while! I hear she looks great! Oh, I've always been a worm guy, myself
